Hi, I’m Ciara—the creative superhero behind Smug Pug Ink, where illustration meets strategy and glitter meets grit. With a BFA in Graphic Design and an MFA in Media Design, I blend art and marketing to create bold, story-driven visuals that make brands unforgettable. From city campaigns to indie product lines, I turn big ideas into cohesive visual worlds—through branding, illustration, motion graphics, and marketing design. Whether it’s a cheeky pug calendar, a community rebrand, or a neon-punk product line, I believe good design should make people feel something (preferably joy). At Smug Pug Ink I lead a full-service creative studio, developing seasonal product collections, licensed surface patterns, and partnerships for local clients and city agencies. I manage production, marketing, and e‑commerce (Wix, Printful, Etsy) and build scalable brand systems and marketing toolkits. My past roles include work with Amazon Prime Video & Music, Media Inc., Publishing, and Data Sphere Technologies, where I contributed graphic design, catalog curation, and motion/video editing. I love turning bold ideas into cohesive visuals and campaigns that resonate with audiences.…Hi, I’m Ciara—the creative superhero behind Smug Pug Ink, where illustration meets strategy and glitter meets grit.
